Alertly ("we", "our", or "us") provides a community alert platform through the Alertly mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

• Precise location (GPS) and approximate location may be collected when you allow location permissions.
• We use location data to show relevant nearby alerts and improve alert accuracy.

1.2 Account and Profile Information

• Information you provide during sign-in or profile setup (for example, phone number, email, display name, or similar account identifiers).

1.3 Alert and App Usage Data

• Data related to alerts you create, view, moderate, or interact with.
• Technical and diagnostic information such as app events, crash logs, and device metadata.

1.4 Push Notification Data

• Device push token(s) used to deliver notifications.
• Notification interaction events (for example, delivery/open events where available).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and operate core app features.
• Show alerts relevant to your area.

3. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

• Performance of a contract (providing app functionality).
• Legitimate interests (security, reliability, abuse prevention).

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party service providers to operate the App. These may process data on our behalf:

• Google Firebase (for messaging/notifications, app infrastructure, analytics or diagnostics where enabled).
• Supabase (for backend data storage and app services).

These providers have their own privacy policies and security practices.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share data only as needed:

• With service providers that help us run the App.
• To comply with law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request.
• To protect rights, safety, and security of users, the public, and Alertly.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (with notice where required).

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including security, legal, and operational requirements.

Retention periods may vary by data type (for example, account records, notification tokens, and alert history).

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can also manage permissions in your device settings (for example, location and notifications).

8. Data Deletion Requests

You may request account or data deletion by contacting us at the email below.

We may ask you to verify your identity before processing deletion requests.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or under the minimum age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate authorization.

If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version in the App or on our website with a revised effective date.
